Boost Invariance and Multiplicity Dependence of the Charge Balance Functionin and Collisions at GeV/c
Boost invariance and multiplicity dependence of the charge balance function
are studied in \pi^{+}\rp and \rK^{+}\rp collisions at 250 GeV/ incident
beam momentum. Charge balance, as well as charge fluctuations, are found to be
boost invariant over the whole rapidity region, but both depend on the size of
the rapidity window. It is also found that the balance function becomes
narrower with increasing multiplicity, consistent with the narrowing of the
balance function when centrality and/or system size increase, as observed in
current relativistic heavy ion experiments.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, Revte
Design and construction of the MicroBooNE detector
This paper describes the design and construction of the MicroBooNE liquid
argon time projection chamber and associated systems. MicroBooNE is the first
phase of the Short Baseline Neutrino program, located at Fermilab, and will
utilize the capabilities of liquid argon detectors to examine a rich assortment
of physics topics. In this document details of design specifications, assembly
procedures, and acceptance tests are reported
Creation of the precision magnetic spectrometer SCAN-3
The new JINR project [1] is aimed at studies of highly excited nuclear matter created in nuclei by a high-energy deuteron beam. The matter is studied through observation of its particular decay products - pairs of energetic particles with a wide opening angle, close to 180°. The new precision hybrid magnetic spectrometer SCAN-3 is to be built for detecting charged (π±, K±, p) and neutral (n) particles produced at the JINR Nuclotron internal target in dA collisions. One of the main and complex tasks is a study of low-energy ηA interaction and a search for η-bound states (η-mesic nuclei). Basic elements of the spectrometer and its characteristics are discussed in the article
